The Story

Like everyone else in Australia & many around the world our hearts are heavy at the devastating loss of life & property caused by the Victorian Bush Fires.

Being a dad with a young family I cannot read the tragic stories of loss without imagining my family in those horriffic situations... battling the flames for their homes, then battling or fleeing for their lives. Just considering this is more than I can bear.

Being 2000km from the fires & with all my money invested in Panedia, I've been pondering what I could do to help. The answer was obvious, use what I have & what I do to raise money for the Victorian Bushfire Appeal, so that's precisely what we're doing on this website.

My Hope

I don't expect we'll raise much money here, but it will be more than I could have given from my own pocket, while allowing us to show some of the beauty of the region that has been ravaged by fire.

My hope is that buyers will see these beautiful images, give thought to how they may continue to help those suffering via the fires, and use the pictures as a reminder to treasure every moment, as we never know when a place or a loved one will be lost to us.

IMPORTANT

Please don't buy a print with money you were intending to donate directly to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal, we want to increase the total contributions to the Appeal, not reduce them.

Note that while we're donating every single cent of profit to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal, and no one here is being paid a cent from the sales, about 50% of what you pay for a print goes on printing, tax & shipping costs.

Panoramic Photograph Locations

Each of these panoramic photographs was shot in and around the fire devastated areas North East of Melbourne. Some of these locations may be been burnt (not the farmer, horses or the home) I'll update this info if/when we find out more.

This Google Map contains the panoramic virtual tours from which these prints were created.

Prints

The actual print you receive is a real photograph printed on good old fashioned photo paper. They are VERY big at 100 x 50cm (40 x 20 inches) and not inexpensive to have professionally framed. They require a big wall if you intend to hang them.
